Comments
Comments: I used Hillsounds Pro up and back and my feet were sore from the pounding esp lower..just basically ice until higher up..KRT was better with some packed powder and a few drifted spots..met 3 coming from S and then 2 at the N ledge view..around 230 clouds broke, sometimes it pays to leave later!!!
